Sorry Grandpa but21st Century and Service Organizations are different…..Ramu’s kids are different • The labor force consists primarily of highly skilled knowledge workers • The products of services consist primarily of packages and knowledge • They tend to be global in scope • They tend to be technologically driven • They tend to be characterized by rapid change and complexity • Their activities are distributed over space and time • They tend to be multipurpose serving the needs of many constituencies • They tend to have fuzzy boundaries Company Confidential

Leading in Downturn: People in Stressful Times People become “swampy”: They close down They disbelieve Get afraid Need more explanation Get frustrated easily Many slow down because they are cautious • The natural personality of a workforce and its communications styles shifts towards more: • Reserved • Skeptical • Emotional • Directive • Deliberate • Summary: • In hard times people close down, project what they are feeling in different ways. They can appear sullen, angry, and defensive. • Stories about what’s really happening spread quickly and it’s reinforced by co-workers, friends, and families.
